During and Beyond Divorce

“Divorce is an intricate balance between

a business dissolution,

a personal mental transition

and building a vision of a new ‘Happily Ever After.’”

“Divorce coaching is a flexible, goal-oriented process ​designed to support, motivate, and guide people ​going through divorce to help them make the best ​possible decisions for their future, based on their ​particular interests, needs, and concerns.”

“Relational disintegration goes slowly... until it goes quickly.

The biggest mistake people make is waiting too long to be prepared. And I understand it. ​We are often in denial that our relationship is terminal. I hate that the hope and joy of ​marriage sometimes ends in divorce, but sometimes they do.

The best way to minimize conflict during divorce is preparing for it before the marriage.

The second best way is to have an experienced partner that walks you through the ​process, gives you important, specific tasks to protect your communications, finances, ​and negotiation positioning, connects you with the right professionals to help you, keeps ​you calm and focused in the storm, checks in on your progress, encourages and guides ​through the emotional highs and the lows.”
